Leadership Development Consulting in Chicago, IL

DISC BASIC™ is a simple, non-judgmental survey that helps a person understand their behavioral preferences and tendencies. This tool is aimed at improving an individual’s self-awareness about their personality style, as well as how to adapt their communication style to others based on their needs. This results in better, more effective relationships and communication. 

The DISC Basic Leadership assessment is a comprehensive report that provides an overview of the DISC model, understanding oneself within that model, and how to apply DISC to leadership-specific behaviors.  DISC Basic Leadership comes with a supplemental report called DISC Basic Extras. This supplemental report provides deeper learning and understanding of their behavioral style. 

The DISC Basic Awareness assessment combines DISC and Emotional Intelligence by using a model called Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EIQ). EIQ measures one’s ability to manage their emotional responses in four areas: 

Self Recognition — how self-aware, conscious, or realistic one is with their ability to recognize how their emotions affect their behavior. 

Self-Management — how much control one has over their emotional responses

Social Recognition — how much one understand what someone else is feeling and how much one recognizes how someone else’s emotions impact their own mood and emotional state

Social Management — one’s ability to work with others, and how they coach, lead, and champion change. 

Depending on the needs of the client, we can also use other assessment such as the Strength Finder 2.0 (The Clifton Strengths Assessment), 360 Feedback Tools.
